An anti-Bcl-2 antibody prevents 2-deoxy-D-ribose-induced apoptosis in the IPLB-LdFB insect cell line
Barbieri D Malagoli D Cuoghi B Ottaviani E 《Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS》2001,58(4):653-659
Confocal microscopy reveals that the anti-Bcl-2 antibody (pAb) is able to diffuse across the plasma membrane of the fat body
cell line IPLB-LdFB from the insect Lymantria dispar, demonstrating the presence of Bcl-2-like molecules in the cytoplasm. Immunoperoxidase procedure confirms the cellular localization.
Furthermore, an immunoprecipitation corresponding to a molecular weight of 29 KDa is observed with western blot analysis using
the anti-Bcl-2 pAb. Cytofluorimetric experiments show that anti-Bcl-2 pAb counteracts 2-deoxy-d-ribose-induced apoptosis and provokes morphological changes in the insect cell line, i.e. a reduction in cell size, the disappearance
of the vacuola and changes in shape. At the same time, the antibody provokes mitochondrial membrane depolarization, and N-acetyl-l-cysteine is unable to reconstitute the physiological conditions. The present findings suggest that Bcl-2-like proteins play
a main role in maintaining of the integrity of cellular components, e.g. mitochondria, rather than in controlling programmed
cell death.
